I have no idea what you're talking about, really. And I suspect you're
misunderstanding what I said. I have not proposed any changes, I'm just
describing how the dynamic-module branch handles this
particular problem.
And no, you won't have "lots of different <modulename>-FOO symbols",
since `require' only works when you pass it <modulename>, not
<modulename>-FOO. If the library needs to advertise more precisely the
exact set of features it happens to provide, then this will probably
have to be done in an ad-hoc manner (tho maybe the `subfeature' arg of
`featurep' could be used for this: it's the kind of thing it was meant
for, although in practice it seems it's never used).
